Windward School was established in 1971 to provide a dynamic education in a nurturing community for co-ed learners in grade levels 7-12 in Los Angeles. The School is named for Shirley Windward, who used her public school system pension to open the college preparatory school. That innovative spirit continues to thrive at Windward, where learners are supported by dedicated faculty members and encouraged to pursue their interests while developing 21st century skills in state of the art facilities. Community and collaboration are at the core of the School’s philosophy and are reflected in the welcoming atmosphere.
